        |  | WHEREAS, Texans everywhere depend on the skill and dedication | 
      
        |  | of our state's firefighters and paramedics, who play an | 
      
        |  | indispensable part in the safety and welfare of their communities; | 
      
        |  | and | 
      
        |  | WHEREAS, In the event of an accident, medical emergency, or | 
      
        |  | large-scale disaster, these exceptional men and women are often the | 
      
        |  | first on the scene to deliver lifesaving care and assistance; each | 
      
        |  | year, their swift and courageous actions prevent the loss of | 
      
        |  | thousands of lives and countless more injuries and illnesses; and | 
      
        |  | WHEREAS, Although we are fortunate that so many of our | 
      
        |  | citizens willingly accept this noble calling, their work is not | 
      
        |  | without risk; Texans continue to honor the memories of those | 
      
        |  | firefighters and paramedics who have made the ultimate sacrifice, a | 
      
        |  | somber roll call that underscores the great hazards these | 
      
        |  | individuals routinely incur in the line of duty; and | 
      
        |  | WHEREAS, Firefighters and paramedics across the Lone Star | 
      
        |  | State have distinguished themselves through their bravery and | 
      
        |  | commitment as well as through their active participation in | 
      
        |  | charitable causes near and beyond their communities; they are truly | 
      
        |  | public servants of the highest order, and all those who count | 
      
        |  | themselves in their ranks merit our heartfelt praise and gratitude; | 
      
        |  | now, therefore, be it | 
      
        |  | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | 
      
        |  | Legislature hereby pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the | 
      
        |  | professional firefighters and paramedics of Texas and their loved | 
      
        |  | ones. |
